title: [Properties of the membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor from cow brain nucleus caudatus].
abstract: A new procedure for isolation of the membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor from cow brain N. caudatus is proposed. The procedure described includes tissue disruption by homogenization and ultrasonication, isolation of a crude membrane fraction and subsequent washing of the membranes with 1 M NaCl and 0,6 M KCl. The receptor yield is 40 nmoles per 1 g of tissue. The receptor is of a muscarine type. The K alpha values for the complexes with acetylcholine (3,8.10(-5) M), D,L-muscarine (3,7.10(-5) M), pilocarpine (3,7.10(-5) M), methylfurmethide (3,7.10(-5) M), atropine (2,5.10(-8) M and 1,2.10(-9) M) and platyphyllin (2,3.10(-7) M) were determined. The atropine binding within the pH range of 5 to 8 is weakly dependent on concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+ and EDTA and EGTA sodium salts as well as on pH. Atropine binding is inhibited by high concentrations of NaCl. It is concluded that N. caudatus from cow brain is a convenient source for isolation of the muscarine acetylcholine receptor.
